  If buying isn’t owning, pirating is stealing.

  I really hope this admission bites them in the ass and in the future we get better consumer protection laws that clearly state we own what we pay for.

    It’s actually very very clear you’re just buying a license, people just… Don’t care. I don’t think they should be able to sell it in the way that they do, given that it’s predatory and destructive, but if you read the terms and conditions of any storefront you’ve purchased the game from they’re extremely explicit you’re buying a revokable 1 person license to play the game from Ubisoft.

  This is the problem with rented software. The obvious solution is to support indie developers and retailers like GOG.
